Renewables – solar

6th December 2018

PLANNING permission has been granted for the largest solar array in the Channel Islands with work to install it expected to begin within six months. Guernsey Electricity and Guernsey Post announced their joint plans in October. The new solar array, which will be built on the roof of Guernsey Post’s headquarters at Envoy House, La Vrangue, will be approximately 200kW in size and will produce around 200,000 kWh of electricity each year. This energy, which is the equivalent amount needed to power Guernsey Post’s fleet of electric vehicles, will be directed to the electricity grid.

Clients have included Greenpeace, Nuclear Free Local Authorities, WWF Scotland and the UK Government’s Committee on Radioactive Waste Management.
